This colorful statue of Marcel the Gnome, carrying a sheaf of wheat, is from a Belgian brewery in the town of Achouffe, nestled in the Ardennes mountains. From the brewery's website:
Brasserie d'Achouffe is named after the Chouffe gnomes rumoured to live in the Ardennes mountains. According to legend, the magical gnomes ran their own brewery in the hills for many years until disaster struck and the brewery was destroyed. The story goes that one of these little brewers visited the founders of Brasserie d'Achouffe and gave them the recipe for the beer which would henceforth be known as La Chouffe.
The item is in quite good condition, but there are a few paint chips and the top of one of the stalks of wheat is broken off (see photos).
Size: 11" W x 8.5" D x 14" H
